Who What Wear

October 29, 2021 at 09:18AM Whether it be for autumn, another season, or year-round, we all know the typical checklist for fashion basics. It includes (but isn’t limited to) tees, jeans, button-downs, trainers, and more. However, there are certain pieces not on those lists that—within my own wardrobe, among our editorial team, and throughout the fashion industry at large—are, at this point, so common and essential they’re due for an upgrade. Sure, they seemed just like regular trends at first, but when something sticks around long enough or makes a big impression within a short amount of time, it deserves to be recategorized accordingly.As you probably guessed, today, I’m here to show, tell, and sell you on six such pieces. From shackets to sweater sets, these are the cool, new “basics” every fashion person is wearing on repeat. Trust me—you won’t regret investing in…

October 29, 2021 at 07:08AM Who’s your favorite Hollywood couple right now? I know newly engaged Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker are definitely one of the buzziest pairs around, but I can’t help but obsess over Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum. Photographed on a stroll in New York City this week, they looked like the picture of domestic bliss in coordinating cream sweaters.Kravitz’s outfit reminded me of one boot trend that I haven’t paid much attention to: front-zipper boots. While searching for shoppable products for this story, this style was hard to find compared to popular silhouettes like lace-up and lug-sole boots. That said, there are more than enough options to choose from if you want to copy Kravitz and try out the trend for yourself. Scroll down to shop her outfit. A must for winter days ahead. This looks way more expensive than it really is. This turtleneck…

October 29, 2021 at 06:54AM Ah, jeans and a nice top. Where would we be without this classic fashion combination? Usually our go-to for festive drinks and easy going-out ensembles, it’s certainly served us well over the decades, but last year, it took on an even greater significance as we found ourselves on the lookout for low-effort, sofa-appropriate (and dare I say Zoom-ready) party looks. When heels and form-fitting frocks were the last things we wanted to be wearing after months of comfy loungewear, a nice top and jeans were the perfect way to dress up with minimal effort and maximum impact. Luckily, despite the fact that the country has opened up again, this low-effort approach to party dressing is sticking around for 2021, and our favourite influencers have provided us with more than enough inspiration in this department. We’ve found a plethora of top options—from sequins to sheer organza—cropping up on our feeds, all…

October 29, 2021 at 06:00AM Here at Who What Wear UK, we’re all about delivering the latest and greatest shopping edits, as approved by our team. That’s why we’ve created The Joy of Shopping, a shopping column which will see me, Joy Montgomery, discussing the brands, buys and ideas that are preoccupying my mind this month. Think homewares, outerwear and everything in-between. Is there something you’d like me to cover? Make sure to tweet or Instagram me your requests!Dear readers, I want to just apologise on behalf of the fashion-magazine industry for our overuse of certain phrases. The trouble is, there are only so many ways we can say “this is a nice top,” so we default to flashy buzzwords as shorthand for really quite simple concepts. For example, the term “wardrobe basics” is essentially our way of saying “you’re going to wear this item of clothing a lot, it won’t look out of date in 12 months’…

October 29, 2021 at 06:00AM Generally speaking, when it comes to hair, there seems to be one main thing that people want from their strands: thickness. In fact, when friends and family reach out to me with hair-related queries, it’s most frequently to ask what the best products for thin hair are. I’ll be honest, though: While I adore a good volumising product, hair thickness has never really concerned me. My individual strands are quite fine, but they’re coarse in texture and there’s a lot of them. I’m more likely to be testing products that promise hair hydration or strand-sleeking results than anything that makes hair look thicker. Until last year, that is.After having my first child, I experienced the much-talked-about postpartum hair loss, and wow, was it intense. After enjoying even thicker, glossier hair during pregnancy, I was shocked to see the huge amounts of hair that I was losing every day…

October 29, 2021 at 06:00AM Our We Try Before You Buy series aims to take the stress out of shopping and eliminate the number of post office visits you make each month to return failed online orders. We test new-season buys and styling ideas so you don’t have to. Here, we’re letting you know what’s actually worth investing in.Winter = coats. It’s the only reason to get excited about darker nights or having to wrestle with tights, and no fashion editor is exempt from the satisfaction that comes with finding The One. Of all the investments you make across a wardrobe, coats stand up there with bags as the kind of piece that can truly last a lifetime. They can be handed down through families and, if you look after them, still look just as fresh as the day they were bought. Some coat buyers are so dedicated…

October 29, 2021 at 06:00AM Besides the incredible outfits and beauty looks that we spotted on the red carpet at the Met Gala this year, there was one other moment that sparked joy and delight amongst eagle-eyed beauty editors across the land: Makeup artist Jessica Smalls-Langston took to Instagram to share a behind-the-scenes shot of the makeup kit that she used to create Naomi Osaka’s crimson-coloured eyes. And nestled amongst the flat-lay of products? Glossier eye shadow palettes. Fast-forward a few weeks and Monochromes landed—refillable monochromatic eye shadow trios in matte, satin and metallic finishes. And as an unashamed Glossier fangirl (trust me—I’ve tried everything), I couldn’t wait to get my hands on them.With a wardrobe of 10 shades available—from pale, peachy pinks and golden yellows to warm chocolate browns and cool lilacs—there are so many colour options to choose from. This is why I decided to call on some of our trusty Who What…

October 28, 2021 at 12:00PM Emma wears the Rixo coat from last week’s shopping picks.As an editor at Who What Wear, I typically spend a lot of time looking at new-in products, so every week, I update this story with the pieces that have caught my eye and that really stand out. The weather recently has seen us all return to our knitwear and raincoats, so I’ve started compiling my winter wish list. Below, I’ve included some of the chicest autumn-ready items I’ve seen this year, with a few party pieces thrown in the mix too. I particularly love the green printed shirt from Free People, a wrap coat from H&M and an organza blouse from Toteme. So whether you’re looking to buy, browse or discover something new, keep scrolling for pieces from the high street and designer labels that I love and think are…
